Samsung ST1000: GPS, Wi-Fi, touchscreen, 5x
zoom, kitchen sink
We can't help but crave gadgety goodness in all its forms, but every now and again
something comes along that we physically can't wait to get our hands on. Today we're
hopping from foot to foot with excitement over the Samsung ST1000, a touchscreen camera
with built-in Wi-Fi.
Up to now, the only Wi-Fi camera has been the underwhelming Nikon Coolpix S50c series,
while the frankly awesome-sounding Eye-Fi wireless memory card still hasn't made it to this
sceptred isle. By contrast to the bonkers-barmy ST500 and ST550 also unveiled today, and
Nikon's distinctly average S50 cameras, Samsung has chucked just about everything at the
ST1000: GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, touchscreen, 5x zoom, high-definition video: the works. The
only thing missing is the projector.
As well as the option to send your snaps winging wirelessly away to the Web, the 12.2-
megapixel ST1000 includes built-in GPS for geo-tagging your pictures. Helpfully, the camera
shows the city name and region on-screen in case you forget where you are. Meanwhile,
Bluetooth allows you to zap pictures to phones and other Bluetooth devices.

The ST1000 also includes a 5x optical zoom, 35mm wide-angle lens and chuffin' enormous
89mm (3.5-inch) touchscreen. Samsung has pre-loaded the 'intelli-studio' PC software
package on to the camera, to install itself on your computer when you first plug your camera
in to transfer files.
Colour options include silver and red, red and black, black and gold, blue and grey, and the
curious black on black. Prices are yet to be confirmed, but the camera will drop before the
end of this month.
